    amybethf replied to phluteloop's topic in Michigan Nursing

    amybethf replied to Veruka's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sorry to hear about 155! That class sucked; lost lots of ppl. But glad to hear you're back in! Who are your instructors (initials only)? 221 was hard too, all the cardiac meds!!! But it was easy...

  4. I failed my clinical on Monday

    amybethf replied to iceangelred86's topic in General Students

    I agree that you should never assume a med has been given; you should have inquired that with your nurse. And at my school we are allowed to do all meds except IV push's due to the risks. This is my...

  5. HFCC NSG 150/155 Supplemental Class. Do you recommend it if you've hadit?

    amybethf replied to mybrowneyedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    amybethf replied to ColtsMom's topic in General Students

    amybethf replied to queenjane's topic in General Students

    I'm confused! How could they kick you out after one med error? Did they view it as doing the pt undue harm? Did you do the necessary checks before administering the dig - like the apical pulse and...

    amybethf replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    When you have a profession that is dominated by women, you are bound to see an abundance of caddiness. It can truly be astounding sometimes at the rudeness some display but just be glad you aren't...
